Sanders defends Clinton after leaked audio: "I agree with her" http://hill.cm/SrA75fa

"Well, I agree with her, what she is saying," Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"There are young people who went deeply into debt, worked very hard to get a good education, and yet get out of school and can't get decent jobs ... and are living in their parents' basements. There is a point there."

1. Sanders has really stepped up to the plate after the convention.

2. noticed that

...Hillary also made a few moves toward his platform proposals, on college, for instance.

3. Her statement is only seen as damaging

If you have zero empathy. Like most republicans and all tea party members...

6. Or if you're in the media and are desperate for a Hillary scandal to gain some traction.

She's pulling away with it, and that just can't be allowed.

8. Yup...

Media needs em a horse race - even if it puts our constitution in jeopardy.

4. I am starting to think Sanders' support for Clinton is genuine after all.

I will have to retract all the snarky comments I've made since the convention. God, I just hate letting a good grudge go

5. Good for Bernie

7. Sanders and 90% of his supporters got this right immediately. The PUMA version of Sanders supporters

and Trump supporters are the ones pushing this and intentionally misinterpreting it.

9. I am ashamed to say...

that I even thought once that Trump and Bernie were two different extremes but fundamentally same (ie absolutists). I have yet to see Bernie lie about anything. He is always genuine, and he will not change his stance even under difficult circumstances. He is an amazing man and I hope the Clinton administration uses someone like him wisely without ego.
